Fic: Gen: Letters to Marion #4 (Indiana Jones)
Undated but probably sometime after 1936
Marion,
The Germans are becoming scarier. They search all over for more artifacts like the Ark. They believe that they can find magical powers from certain objects. You and I both know that is true. Years ago in Paris, Arnold Toynbee said the war would be to fight again when the powers that be treated Germany so badly. He was right. To leave a country without hope is a good way to make it easy for a man like Adolf Hitler to rise to power. I hope this next war will be over sooner and be less destructive. I hate war. Nothing good comes of it.
I am teaching again when I’m not in the field. It’s not terribly interesting since the students seem silly but I guess most college kids are silly. Odd to think I was in the trenches at that age. I wouldn’t wish that on anyone.
I think of you, of us, every single day but I am still sure I was right to leave. You know I am just not husband material.
Love,
Indy
Toynbee was the man who said, "Those who forget the lessons of history are doomed to repeat them."
